Definitions
- This invention relates to a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Fresh mixture is introduced into a crank chamber through an intake passage having a throttle valve, and subjected to a primary compression. While the primarily compressed fresh mixture scavenges the cylinder, fuel is injected at a timing somewhere during the scavenging, exhaust, and compression strokes from the fuel injection valve disposed in the combustion chamber wall, ignited after the compression stroke and burned. The burned gas is exhausted from the combustion chamber prior to the next scavenging stroke.
- the two-cycle engine has a problem that irregular combustion is likely to occur especially in the low speed, low load operation range because of reasons such as a small amount of fresh mixture for scavenging and resultant low in-cylinder pressure causing reverse flow of burned gas present in the exhaust passage back into the cylinder, diffusion of injected fuel causing decrease in the fuel concentration, and poor flame propagation due to low in-cylinder temperatures.
- the inventors have developed an arrangement for the in-cylinder injection type of two-cycle engine employing an exhaust control valve for variably controlling the cross-sectional area of the exhaust passage, so that the irregular combustion is minimized by maintaining a high pressure at the beginning of compression and a high in-cylinder temperature by reducing the cross-sectional area of the exhaust passage.
- suction intercept valves are installed in suction passages (a branch pipe from a surge tank) leading to each suction side cylinders of the cylinder number control engine, and exhaust intercept valves are installed in exhaust pipes. And, using a suction pressure sensor or an engine speed sensor installed in the surge tank, fuel feed to these suspended cylinders is intercepted when suction pressure is above the specified value or engine speed is below that, while both intercept valves are fully closed whereby a pumping loss is reduced.
- the exhaust passage of the active cylinders is throttled in the cylinder halt operation range, so that it is possible to maintain pressurs and temperature in the cylinders at the beginning of compression and to restrict the occurrence of irregular combustion, due to the flowing back of low temperature air from the halted cylinders into the active cylinders, so that the temperature in the active cylinders is not lowered.
- the exhaust control valve is provided for part of the cylinders and the cylinder halt control means halts the cylinders not provided with the exhaust control valve.
- the cylinder halt control means halts the cylinders not provided with the exhaust control valve.
- the exhaust control valve is disposed in the middle of a confluence passage to which independent passages of the cylinders are joined together and that the cylinder halt control means halts the cylinders downstream of the exhaust control valve.

Electrodes of the ignition plugs 27 are disposed to face the insides of combustion chambers surrounded with the cylinder head 24, the cylinders 21 of the cylinder body 23, and the pistons 25. The ignition plugs 27 are energized with an ignition circuit 63 (See FIG. 4.) to produce sparks in the combustion chambers at specified timings.

- the valve shafts 72 are disposed in a straight line at right angles to the cylinder axis.
- Each of the valve plates 71 is formed with a communication hole 71a to serve as a leak passage for the exhaust gas when the valve is fully closed.
- the opening area of the communication hole 71a is set to minimize the difference in the exhaust gas discharge resistance among the cylinders due to their locations and cooling conditions.
- valve shafts 72 are interconnected through a connection mechanism 73 comprising pulleys 73a, 73b, and a link 73c, and driven with a drive motor 75 through the pulley 73a and a cable 74.

If the exhaust control valves 80 are respectively provided with drive motors, the openings of the exhaust control valves 80 may be respectively controlled.
- FIG. 4 shows an ECU 50 for controlling the operation of the engine 6.
- Signals representing the operating state of the engine 6 are sent from various sensors to the ECU 50.

- the ECU 50 performs various calculations using various signals coming from the above-described sensors and representing the engine operation state, according to a preset program, and using various control maps stored in a data storage, and outputs various control signals to various actuators.
- the output signals include for example; a throttle valve opening signal TH to a throttle actuator 61 for driving the throttle valve 31 in opening and closing directions, a fuel injection duration (injection rate) signal FD and fuel injection start timing signal INJ to a solenoid coil 62 for driving a fuel injection valve 49 in opening and closing directions, an ignition signal IGN to an ignition circuit 63 for supplying a high tension current to the ignition plug 27, and an exhaust control valve opening signal EXV to an actuator 64 for driving the exhaust control valve 43 in opening and closing directions.

- the ECU 50 has the following functions.
- FIG. 7 shows cylinder halt operation ranges according to the engine revolution REV and the accelerator opening ACC. with ranges A. B. and C with more number of halted cylinders per rotation of the crankshaft toward the low speed, low load operation.
- combustion occurs six times per crankshaft revolution. That is to say, for five crankshaft revolutions (30 combustions), for example in the range A, the cylinder halt occurs three times (one halt per 10 combustions): in the range B, 4.3 times (one halt per seven combustions); and in the range C six times (one halt per five combustions).
- halts and combustions occur as shown below, with the numerals in parentheses denoting the halted cylinders while naked numerals denoting the operated cylinders,
- cylinder halt operation There are two possible methods for the cylinder halt operation: one is to stop the ignition only to the cylinder to be halted, and the other is to stop both fuel supply and ignition. From the viewpoint of avoiding the deterioration in the exhaust gas composition, stopping the fuel supply is preferable.
- the opening EXV of the exhaust control valve is controlled to the accelerator-revolution-dependent exhaust control valve opening EXVo set according to the accelerator opening ACC and/or engine revolution REV.
- the exhaust control valve opening EXV is made smaller than the opening in the non-cylinder halt operation range.
- this embodiment is arranged as described above with ranges A. B. and C with more number of halted cylinders per rotation of the crankshaft toward the low speed and low load operation range, when the amount of fuel required for the engine as a whole decreases, the amount of fuel not injected into the halted cylinders is added co the amount of fuel injected into the operating cylinders. That is to say, the amount of fuel per operating cylinder, namely the amount of fuel injected from one injection valve per one combustion increases. As a result, the problem of insufficient dynamic range may be avoided.
- the opening EXV of the exhaust control valve 70 or 80 is controlled to be smaller than the exhaust control valve opening (accelerator-revolution-dependent exhaust control valve opening EXVo) in the non-cylinder halt operation range (all cylinder operation range), namely the passages 42 connecting to the operating cylinders are throttled.
- the exhaust control valve opening acceleration-revolution-dependent exhaust control valve opening EXVo
- all cylinder operation range all cylinder operation range
- throttling the exhaust control valves makes it possible to maintain high pressure and temperature in the cylinders at the beginning of compression. As a result. irregular combustion is restricted.
- the halted cylinder Since the halted cylinder is changed in sequence among all the cylinders, the halted cylinder may smoothly resume operation. while avoiding overheat or poor lubrication in specific cylinders.

- An exhaust control valve 90' comprising two valve plates corresponding to cylinders (1), (3) and (2), (4) and attached to a single valve shaft, with the cylinders (5) and (6) halted.
- FIG. 12(b) shows another example with one exhaust control valve 90 disposed to correspond to the right hand bank of cylinders (1), (3) and (5), with the other exhaust control valve 90 disposed co correspond to the cylinder (2) in the left hand bank, and the cylinders (4) and (6) in the left hand bank may be halted.
